PART 1 - PRELIMINARY PAGES
Title Page
The Title Page lists a brief descriptive title of the project, names of the individuals submitting
the final report, the date of submission, academic division/institution and additional
information as may be required.
A Thesis/Capstone Project Title is a distinguishing name given to a work or project describing
the scope in a specific context and indicates the content of the paper. The title of the report
should present the main topic of the project in a concise, and, as appropriate, distinctive
manner. It must be broad enough to include all the main ideas and keywords involved in the
study or to be studied.
Adviser’s Recommendation Sheet
This section provides space for the signature of the proponent’s adviser indicating that he has
examined and recommended the Report for acceptance and approval. No final Report will be
accepted unless all copies are duly signed by the Technical Advisor and Instructor/Critic.
Panel’s Approval Sheet
The approval sheet provides space for the signatures of the members of the panel indicating
their acceptance of the work. No final Report will be accepted unless all copies are duly signed
by all the members of the defense panel and the Dean and the Vice President for Academic
Affairs (VPAR).
Acknowledgement
This section contains the author’s statement expressing appreciation and gratitude to those
who have assisted and supported the preparation and conceptualization throughout the
completion of the Thesis/Capstone Project. This page also mentions any sources and
permission obtained to quote copyrighted materials. Acknowledgements must be written in a
single page and should be expressed in simple and tactful descriptions of the contributions of
the acknowledgements.
Abstract/Executive Summary
The abstract and executive summaries provide a summary of the report’s essential information.
The abstract is used for Report Option 1 while the executive summary is used for Report Option
2. An abstract is written for orientation particularly in the writing of research papers for
seminars and conferences proceedings or any in depth analysis of a particular subject. It is used
to help the reader quickly understand the gist and the purpose of the paper; hence, it is in a
highly-condensed form.
An executive summary on the other hand, is written for proposal or report in a miniature of the
business/product presentation intended for high-level decision makers.
It is written in

PART II – TEXT
THE BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The purpose of the background of the study is simply to enable the reader to determine if the
study is relevant to the area of interest. It gives strong justification and helps the proponent/s
to prove the relevance of the problem statement and to further develop the study. The scope
may be global, national, regional and local.
This section also includes a review of the area being researched, current information
surrounding the issue (personal or workplace experiences or those others have had in the
workplace), previous studies on the issue, and relevant history on the issue but thoroughly
addressed in the Literature Review chapter. The proponent/s should link and relate the
background of the study to the proposed research problem.
The introduction is a pragmatic argument of your study about an issue. It primarily answers the
question “What are the most important issues for this topic in terms of the goals of the study
and the effects in society”? Speculation is not acceptable unless it is supported by specific
evidence or a published reference.
The introduction is typically 1-3 pages. The first paragraph should focus on the long-term
history of the topic and succeeding paragraphs present more recent research trends. It also
contains the researcher’s firm stand on the need to bridge the gap between existing bodies of
knowledge and the prevailing situation. The final section of the introduction states the purpose
of the study and the rationale for the approach used to complete it.
Approach: Global Reality > National Reality > Local Reality > Focal Reality
The introduction should also provide proper context both the theoretical/technical and
economic motivation that allows the reader to understand the problem and issue presented.
The project setting should clarify the location and the most relevant background of the project:
1) description of the company 2) the product 3) the market 3) and transition into the area that
will be the focus of the project. It also includes discussion on the current status of the process
or system that reasonably describes the need for the improvement or redesign and challenge or
opportunity the project presents.
Problem Statement
The problem statement provides the context the reason why the study is necessary and
potentially valuable to the discipline, individual or organization. The research problem is at the
center of the entire study and directly related to the associated research questions and
objective/s. This is an area of conflict, concern, or controversy (a gap between what is wanted
and what is observed) hence, it is important to state it clearly.

Both capstone projects and theses should have a clear statement of the problem or issue to be
addressed. The statement of the problem can be formulated either in question form or a
declarative statement. The 5 'W's - Who, What, Where, When and Why can be used to spark
the discussion about the problem.
Objectives of the study
The objective of the study is a clear statement of something that needs to be accomplished
over a period of time and should be short, concise and accurate. These are statements of what
you intend to do to find the answer to your research question. It must name the specific and
concrete – if possible, measurable – accomplishments (external and personal) intention of the
study. It should answer: “What, exactly, the study is going to accomplish, produce, and/or
deliver. It also includes the necessary deliverables and defines a reasonable scope of work.
The general objective of a study states what proponent/s expect to achieve by the study in
general terms and it is broken down into smaller, logically connected parts. These are normally
referred to as specific objectives which are numbered in a list and should systematically address
the various aspects of the problem as defined under the “Problem Statement”.
Objectives should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-bounded, so that
research problem could be explored effectively.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The Scope and Limitation includes: the specific variables of study, coverage of the study, the
duration of the study, the area, the research instruments, the research issues and concerns,
and the constraints that have direct bearing on the result of the study.
Limitations are descriptions of the restrictions that have been imposed on the study that are
beyond the researcher’s concern. Typically, limitations deal with restrictions such as: 1) the
voluntary nature of the subjects, 2.) inability to control all of the variables which may influence
the outcome, 3.) limits impose on the study by the participating organization.
For Report option Software Development, this section also defines the manageability of the
study. The scope also refers to the work that needs to be accomplished to deliver a product,
service, or result with the specified features and functions. The description of the scope and
limitations pertaining to the study define the restrictions placed on the study to make it doable.
In companies that employ and supervise IT professionals, standards are generally established by
the organization and the proponent/s will be expected to follow those standards.

Significance of the study
This section rationalizes the objectives of the research with that of the statement of the
problem. It explains why the research must be done in this area. It also shows detailed and
specific discussions on who benefits from the output of the study and how they are going to
benefit from it. It expounds on the study’s probable impact to education, science, technology,
government, the organization concerned, on-going researchers and the society in general.
Definition of Terms
Many terms are subject to variety of interpretations. In a research study you need to define
the terms clearly to avoid ambiguity and confusion. Only important terms from the title,
statement of the problem or objective and paradigm should be defined. Such terms should be
defined operationally according to the precise meanings they are intended to convey or how
you use such term in the study. The terms should be arranged in alphabetical order and the
definitions should be stated in complete sentences.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This section presents the written works and studies that exhibit importance and similarity with
the proposed study. It also discusses the capabilities and limitations of existing researches,
theories and paradigms that are related to the study.
Reviewing the literature is a continuous process. It begins before a research problem is
finalized and continues until the report is finished. The process involves several steps: a)
searching for existing literature and studies within the area of study b) reviewing the selected
materials c) developing a theoretical framework based on the reviewed materials d) developing
a conceptual framework which becomes the basis of the study.
A literature review surveys a minimum of twenty (20) scholarly articles, books and other
sources relevant to the area of your study which should mainly include current (within 3-5
years) literature and studies. The focus of the literature review is to summarize and synthesize
information from these sources. It should explain what is known or is unknown about the
problem; identify areas of controversy in the literature; and formulate questions that need
further research.
The literature review has an introduction, a body, and a conclusion, and should be a minimum
of five (5) pages. A brief introduction should preview the type of literature that will be
reviewed, identifying the main literature that made a great impact on the study. In the body,
research studies and other types of literature are grouped according to themes (logically) and
arranged chronologically. Subsets of the literature are organized under sub-headings. Each
subset is concluded with a summary statement relating that section to your problem.

Association (APA).
Theoretical Background of the Study
The theoretical framework of the study is a structure that supports a theory of a research work.
It presents the theory which explains why the problem under study exists, thus, it serves a basis
for conducting research. It is in this framework where the present research problem under
study evolved. This section should include the comprehensive discussion on theorems,
definitions, fundamental algorithms, mathematical models/formula. The theories should be
able to create a relationship between the research topic, the problem and a particular target.
Conceptual framework
After formulating the theoretical framework, the proponent/s has to develop the conceptual
framework of the study. While the theoretical framework is the theory on which the study is
based, the conceptual framework is the operationalization of the theory. The conceptual
framework is the schematic diagram (paradigm) which is the researcher’s own position on the
problem and gives direction to the study. It may be an adaptation of a model used in a
previous study, with modifications to suit the inquiry. It should present the main parts to be
studied – key factors, concepts or variables and the presumed relationships among them. It is
developed to use as a tool to guide the data collection and analysis
Technical Background
This section describes the technical terms, relevant algorithms, and possibly mathematical
theorems for better understanding of the reader. For Capstone Projects that use or integrate
existing software products, the latter should be described in sufficient detail. It there are
special hardware (e.g. computer server) and software systems (e.g. operating system) that are
essential in the actual project implementation, those should be described. The purpose of the
section is to serve as a reference for technical details used widely and importantly in the study.
This section primarily addresses these areas: technicality of the project, details of the
technologies used and how the project actually works. The technical background should be
elaborated as much as possible in layman’s terms.

METHODOLOGY
In general, this chapter describes how the data were collected that answers the research
question and its component parts and accomplish the specified objectives. It informs the
readers how the proponent/s proceeded with the study. This discusses the research locale,
research design, population sampling, research instrument, and the statistical treatment of
data. This section answers the questions: 1) what research methods will you use (qualitative or
quantitative); 2) what material will you use and 3) how do particular methodologies allow you
to address different questions. Activities in system methodology are also discussed which cover
from problem identification throughout the development and implementation of the project.
This chapter also includes the discussion on conceptual design/system architecture/block
diagrams and algorithms
Organizational Assessment
Organizational assessment is a process that ensures that the environmental implications of
decisions are taken into account before the decisions are made. Projects do not exist in a
vacuum and where the projects are being undertaken includes many influences which are
generally grouped under external and internal headings. The external environment includes
the influences outside the organization such as Political, Economic, Sociological, Technological
and Legal (PESTLE) factors. The internal environment is the organization's own environment
and includes factors such as the nature of business, culture, methods, processes, policies, rules
standards, structure, board development, etc. If these are understood responses can be
incorporated in which the project is being performed will assist the proponent/s to deliver the
project.
Several methods, techniques and tools can be utilized such as: SWOT, Ishikawa (fishbone),
Context Analysis, etc.
Requirements Specification
This section explains what the program will do from the user’s perspective. It details a
statement of valid input to the program and the statement of the corresponding output. The
purpose of this phase in the software development is to analyze and examine thoroughly and
determine requirements for a new or an enhanced information system, structure those
requirements for clarity and consistency, and select among competing system features those
that meet user requirements within the development constraints. Deliverables of this phase
are the functional specifications for a system that meet user requirements that are feasible to
develop and implement.
SYSTEMS PLUS COLLEGE FOUNDATION

Thesis/Capstone Project Policies and Guidelines
3rd edition 2014

Generally, there are two types of requirements: functional and non-functional. A functional
requirement describes what a software system should do or provide for users while a nonfunctional requirements place constraints on how the system will do or elaborates a
performance characteristic of the system.
Note: This particular section is based upon the IEEE Guide to Software Requirements
Specification (SRS) template.
RESULTS AND DICSUSSION
This chapter includes a presentation and analysis of data. After the data have been gathered
and analyzed, it is now the task of the proponent/s to prepare a written report on the results of
the study. It is important that the research output be presented in an organized, coherent and
understandable manner. Data analysis describes how the data are organized into tables or
graphs and analyzed and what statistical package and comparisons are used. The discussion
gives meaning to the data, explains their significance, and relates them to a broader context.
Qualitative data should be summarized, as opposed to verbatim transcriptions.
Results and discussion sections may be separated or integrated. In any case, it is being assured
that the reader can readily differentiate the results from their interpretation
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The conclusion section furnishes future undertakings based on the analysis and conclusion of
the study. It summarizes the main conclusions of the study and their significance. Create a list
of specific conclusions and fully describe each. Do not introduce new ideas in this section. All
conclusions should refer to conclusions drawn in previous sections and should state that all the
requirements of the problem statement have been met. You may also include insights that
may be of potential value to the sponsor.
Recommendations are specific actions to be taken associated with the conclusions and
economic analysis. Include an introductory paragraph or two, followed by a numbered list of
specific actions. You may use specific drawings, vendors, part numbers, cost, maintenance
requirements, training, software, etc.
Create a list of recommendations in the order of their importance. Place multiple
recommendations in several phases for implementation according to their priorities and
profitability. If the project recommendations include significant procedural steps and capital
expenditures, you may include a section on implementation strategies to map out an
implementation/deployment plan.

REFERENCES
The list of References is a working resource and should include a minimum of twenty (20)
materials and sources that were used in the research and preparation of the Capstone Project
and cited in the text of the Report. The References list documents the sources used and
provides the information necessary to identify and retrieve each source. Books are placed
together presented alphabetically; journals and magazines are placed together.
Formats for references, citations and quotations must be based from the American Psychology
Association (APA) format.
APPENDICES:
The appendices should include those items which contain detailed information that is referred
to in the text of the report, and are helpful to the reader, but too complex or large to include in
the body of the report. Items often include a large table, lists of words, or a sample
questionnaire or survey. A single appendix item is labeled Appendix, but if there is more than
one, Appendix items are labeled with a capital letter (Appendix A, Appendix B, etc.) as they are
referenced in the text. Each appendix item must also have a title. Appendices are referred to
by their labels in the text. This page should include the appendix

C. Format: The abstract (in block format) begins on the line following the Abstract
heading. The abstract word limit is set by individual journals. Typically, the
word limit is between 150 and 250 words. All numbers in the abstract
(except those beginning a sentence) should be typed as digits rather than
words.
III. Body
A. Pagination: The body of the paper begins on a new page. Subsections of the body of the
paper do not begin on new pages.
B.
Title: The title of the paper (in uppercase and lowercase letters) is centered on the first
line below the running head.
C.
Introduction: The introduction (which is not labeled) begins on the line following the
paper title.
IV.Text citations: Source material must be documented in the body of the paper by citing the
author(s) and date(s) of the sources. The underlying principle is that ideas and words of
others must be formally acknowledged. The reader can obtain the full source citation
from the list of references that follows the body of the paper.
A. When the names of the authors of a source are part of the formal structure
of the sentence, the year of publication appears in parentheses following the
identification of the authors. Consider the following example:
Wirth and Mitchell (1994) found that although there was a reduction in
insulin dosage over a period of two weeks in the treatment condition
compared to the control condition, the difference was not statistically
significant. [Note: and is used when multiple authors are identified as part of
the formal structure of the sentence. Compare this to the example in the
following section.]
B.
When the authors of a source are not part of the formal structure of the
sentence, both the authors and year of publication appear in parentheses.
Consider the following example:
Reviews of research on religion and health have concluded that at least some
types of religious behaviors are related to higher levels of physical and
mental health (Gartner, Larson, & Allen, 1991; Koenig, 1990; Levin &
Vanderpool, 1991; Maton & Pargament, 1987; Paloma & Pendleton, 1991;
Payne, Bergin, Bielema, & Jenkins, 1991). [Note: & is used when multiple
authors are identified in parenthetical material. Note also that when several
sources are cited parenthetically, they are ordered alphabetically by first
authors' surnames and separated by semicolons.]
C.
When a source that has two authors is cited, both authors are included every
time the source is cited.
D. When a source that has three, four, or five authors is cited, all authors are
included the first time the source is cited. When that source is cited again,
the first author's surname and "et al." are used. Consider the following
example:

Payne et al. (1991) showed that ...
When a source that has six or more authors is cited, the first author's
surname and "et al." are used every time the source is cited (including the
first time).
Every effort should be made to cite only sources that you have actually
read. When it is necessary to cite a source that you have not read ("Grayson"
in the following example) that is cited in a source that you have read
("Murzynski & Degelman" in the following example), use the following
format for the text citation and list only the source you have read in the
References list:
Grayson (as cited in Murzynski & Degelman, 1996) identified four
components of body language that were related to judgments of
vulnerability.
To cite a personal communication (including letters, emails, and telephone
interviews), include initials, surname, and as exact a date as
possible. Because a personal communication is not "recoverable"
information, it is not included in the References section. For the text citation,
use the following format:
B. F. Skinner (personal communication, February 12, 1978) claimed ...
To cite a Web document, use the author-date format. If no author is
identified, use the first few words of the title in place of the author. If no
date is provided, use "n.d." in place of the date. Consider the following
examples:
Degelman (2009) summarizes guidelines for the use of APA writing style.
Changes in Americans' views of gender status differences have been
documented (Gender and Society, n.d.).
To cite the Bible, provide the book, chapter, and verse. The first time the
Bible is cited in the text, identify the version used. Consider the following
example:
"You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to you"
(Psalm 86:5, New International Version). [Note: No entry in the References
list is needed for the Bible.]
Quotations: When a direct quotation is used, always include the author, year, and
page number as part of the citation.
A. A quotation of fewer than 40 words should be enclosed in double quotation
marks and should be incorporated into the formal structure of the sentence.
Consider the following example:

Pagination: The References section begins on a new page.
Heading: "References" (centered on the first line below the running head)
Format: The references (with hanging indent) begin on the line following the
References heading. Entries are organized alphabetically by surnames of first
authors. Most reference entries have the following components:
1.
Authors: Authors are listed in the same order as specified in the
source, using surnames and initials. Commas separate all
authors. When there are eight or more authors, list the first six
authors followed by three ellipses (...) and then the final author. If no
author is identified, the title of the document begins the reference.
2.
Year of Publication: In parentheses following authors, with a period
following the closing parenthesis. If no publication date is identified,
use "n.d." in parentheses following the authors.
3.
Source Reference: Includes title, journal, volume, pages (for journal
article) or title, city of publication, publisher (for book). Italicize titles
of books, titles of periodicals, and periodical volume numbers.
